    Premium Episode 69: Down on the Baby Farm (Sample)
    Feb 14 2026
    We talk about important culture war fights that conservatives will always think are destroying the fabric of America before moving on to something that conservatives couldn’t care less about—a global cabal of ultra wealthy pedophiles, and it’s dead ringleader, Jeffrey Epstein. This is a sample of a premium episode. Sign up to listen to the entire episode. patreon.com/wetwired Last month’s release of 3 million or so Epstein documents has churned up dozens of subterranean connections between Epstein and diplomats, government ministers, tech billionaires, scientists, and academics. The files have also resurfaced Epstein’s longstanding fascination with gene editing and cloning, and how told friends about wanting to use his New Mexico ranch as a baby farm to create a new race of humans. We review the 2019 investigation opened and quickly closed by the Attorney General of New Mexico, Epstein's genomics interests over the years, and wonder why so many ultra-wealthy weirdos are so into transhumanism.

    Episode 90: Law and Order / I Always Wanted To Be a Groyper, Part 2
    Feb 10 2026
    Last episode, we talked about the brewing conflict between what currently passes for mainstream conservatism and the schizophrenic reactionary Groyper politics of Nick Fuentes.

Aside from a few exceptions, most of the time they keep themselves busy fighting culture wars about immigration, civil rights, women’s rights, Christianity, and demonizing organized labor. What they keep trying to “conserve” is whatever the status quo power dynamic was when their grandad was a kid. After the Civil War, they wanted slavery back. Women’s suffrage, desegregation—they wanted to get rid of all those things. This isn’t the first fight inside conservatism. As part of its periodic reinvention of itself, conservatives have gone back to the political well and dredged up the same slogans more than once. We tied this malleable idea of conservatism in with the evolution of the field of unashamed ideological political economists into what we now think of as the pseudoscience of Economics. At least the political economists were up front about whatever ideological bent they had. If you were a socialist, you’d start with your convictions about socialism being the absolute best way of running society on offer, and they work to come up with an economic theory or plan that made it seem possible. It was honest. By the time the 1800s were wrapping up, that wasn’t good enough. Economists wanted to be taken more seriously, so they started dressing the whole thing up like they were doing physics or pure math. They could talk about whatever economic system as if they were describing the laws of nature. That didn’t get rid of the ideology, though. It just buried it under metric tons of academic jargon and complicated formulas. After all, what’s the difference between modeling a tsunami and a stock market crash? The answer is that the tsunami wasn’t caused by Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. That all brings us around to FDR’s New Deal and the era of John Maynard Keynes and what Matt Christman has called his "Keynesian machine for dispensing treats". As many contradictions as Keynes gathered into his economic model, it remains the only proven way to maintain capitalism. To set the tone, David Talbot has a quote in his book The Devil’s Chessboard about Bertie Pell, a friend of FDR’s who Talbot described as a “full-on traitor to his class”. “I am almost the last capitalist who is willing to be saved by you,” Pell wrote Roosevelt in 1936 in a letter beseeching the president to draft him for the New Deal cause. The following year, Pell wrote again, praising FDR’s accomplishments: “Your administration has made possible the continuance of American institutions for at least fifty years. You have done for the government what St. Francis did for the Catholic Church. You have brought it back to the people.” It turns out Pell was eerily correct. Those institutions managed to last just a little longer than 50 years. They are about gone now, though. Our long promised merch is here!!

    The ground is definitely shifting in the conservative base. From the Republican staffers who had their private texts between each other leaked revealing A LOT of racist messages to Nick Fuentes showing up on one mainstream conservative show after another, it's obvious that many Republicans are becoming more openly sympathetic to the racist Groyper ideas. This is a sample of a premium episode. Sign up to listen to the entire episode. patreon.com/wetwired We're going to do a couple of episodes talking about conservatism in the US, how things are changing for the Republicans, what's happening with the old conservatives, and the Groypers who are trying to take their place. In this episode, we talk about the fallout at the Heritage Foundation after Kevin Roberts' weak defense of Tucker Carlson for having Fuentes on his show, followed by an even weaker apology for defending him.
